In an ever-increasingly competitive landscape, publisher Electronic Arts wants its Battlefield series to really, truly sing. The recently-released 2042 isn't doing the trick, of course, but that's not going to stop the megacorp from doubling and tripling down: Battlefield will now be a universe, with stories and experiences and expansions across different platforms, game-types, and even monetization options. Worse yet, it will occupy a great deal of their internal development resources, for -- as we always say -- every opportunity taken is infinite opportunities lost. Is EA trying a little too hard to be Activision? Or are they making a wise bet? We discuss. Plus: Confusion surrounds Godfall on PS+, Dying Light 2 has gone gold two months early, and BioShock rumors galore, amongst other topics. Then: Are award shows (and awarded products) becoming too homogenized? What game mechanics truly shined in 2021? Will auteurs come to rule the industry landscape? Will Dustin ever appreciate the complexity and versatility of applesauce? Get some Sacred Symbols merch! https://LastStandMedia.shop Follow the hosts on Twitter!
